In web application development, today we can get huge benefits by using frameworks, as they help with code reusing, generalization, templating and dealing with best pratices and design patterns.
While many people has moved toward Ruby on Rails, I’am more interested in learning Python, and using python-based frameworks. I’ve played a little with Django, but I was disappointed when I discovered that at present it doesn’t support multiple-fields primary keys in your data models. So I looked around a little and i stepped into Turbogears. It seems to me that this framework is undertaking a lot of refactoring, but it still seems to me a good choice because of its modularity and interchangeability (while Django is more monolithic as I can understand).
As I’m learning, I will write some tutorials about Turbogears, hoping next people will get some help with issues I’ve encountered. I must say that, while I have a strong education in IT and programming languages, I am not an experienced python programmer, but this is surely not a problem (at least, in this tutorial’s context 
) . In this tutorial, I will show you a basic project setup: we will use Turbogears framework (1.0.4.4), Elixir (0.5.x) for data modeling & access, and Genshi for templating.
